Research Interest The research is an integral part of the academician. During my graduate pursue and industrial exposure, I have developed a keen interest in the preformulation and formulation aspect of the drug development. Presently, my research interests involve working on following areas but I am open to learn and collaborate on new ideas and concepts in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. 1. To improve the solubility of different poorly soluble drugs (having different physic-chemical properties) by using approaches such as Solid dispersion, Self emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS), Nano-crystal systems and Supersaturated system. The idea is to develop a robust solubilizing technique that can effectively be used during prefomulation and formulation studies for New Chemical Entity (NCE). 2. To explore and characterize Ternary Solid dispersion as an approach to increase solubility and stability. The focus is to explore the combination of potential, used available, safe, FDA approved, well studied polymers. 3. To focus on understanding the precipitation mechanism of poorly soluble drugs in absence and presence of polymers (primarily by drug polymer interaction). The idea is to establish a correlation of drug polymer interaction in solution and its effect on the stabilization of amorphous solid state along with In-Silico prediction of drug polymer interaction by using softwares like Gaussian and Jaguar. Overall, the goal of the study is to help in rationally screening the polymers for improving drug solubility and stability. 4. In the future, I would like to study the effect of important factors like physicochemical properties, crystal form, morphology, seeding, and level of supersaturation etc. of various poorly soluble drugs in presence and absence of different excipients. The idea is to understand the crystallization/precipitation process in detail and apply in above mentioned solubilization techniques. It can help in understanding drug delivery and dosage form design aspects as a lot of excipients are added in formulation during various stages of drug development. 5. Another area of research I wish to pursue is the liposome based delivery systems. These nanocarriers have been well studied across multiple scientific disciplines (medicine, immunology, diagnostics, cosmetics etc.) over the last several decades and are considered one of the most advanced drug delivery systems in terms of development as reflected in the commercialization of liposome delivery systems in the area of oncology. Along with anti-cancer agents, I want to extend the use of liposome in other therapeutic areas such as anti-infectives and anti-inflammatory. Also, pharmaceutical science is one of the interdisciplinary fields where thoughtful collaboration among researchers in academics as well as industry is very important. Through these collaborations a rapid advancement can be made to solve a problem, so I would love to collaborate and make progress in my chosen field.
